for no one

lets talk.
we got blobs, tags and business. we got business heads, put em to bed. the light keeps changing, and its happened before but in another context. hair on the floor. reap the joy, you know its there cos you've seen it already. new ones are different, they simply must be. its the apple core of dignity. 40 calories. the train journey out of here. no to the pension scheme...scheme it is. i steal pens for the time being, a mere fringe benefit. dine with me.
I CAN BE A DRAGON AT TIMES. SORRY.
its not really the point.
just a note to say that time is coming and running in parallels.
para para.
keep thinking (did i need to mention that?)

.....to be cont'd

stir it up

Dear Collective

I am writing to say come on collective era.
we need era 3. There is quite a lack of noise from this corner. I have no children. I need to purchase one of your items. There is no evidence of lift engineers. I would be grateful if you could get back to me, or in any case splatter some on my door. The remainder should be found in your next month's paycheck.

Good day to you madams.
Sincerely,
Jazzenbouer Oldenhoff

Some More TAA Photies






futures

I'm a pessimist. The current system is royally fucked and will run itself into the ground. Time to head away from the coast, buy a gun, and learn to grow your own whatever the hell will grow in the chaotic weather of the future.
I'm not unhappy - my current job is a reasonably well paid waste of time. Me and most of my friends chase empty, meaningless shit from bland overseas holidays, to getting laid, to cars which within 5 years will be too expensive to run.
Bring it on - it's exciting in a fight club kind of way.

Collective-Era at TAA Brighton 2009

(T)emporary (A)utonamous (A)rt, Brighton 2009. An abandoned warehouse was taken over and re-appropriated as an art and music space for a period of four days. We were in the upstairs area re-decorating the walls. Below are photos of our mural as it developed over the week...

















Also a special mention to Lotz (www.flickr.com/photos/lotzup), who came and painted with us on the second day. Here's her wall below...



... and to Bex who did this beauty below...



Also managed to get a few videos at various stages...







And here are some photos from the rest of the event...

Setting up...

Party time...


Hanging Era-Two...

On the last day we arrived and found three photos stuck next to our painting of some bloke in a mad hoody posing in front of the painting... pretty cool effect! Its this random artistic give and take which make the TAA so special! Just do whatever you feel like and get involved!!

The work is staying up for a while if anyone's interested. Twas a good night.
